Converting a Private Foundation into a Canada Gives Foundation Account

Focus on Giving Not Administration

As a dedicated philanthropist managing a private foundation, you understand the importance of active and sustainable charitable giving.

A Canada Gives donor-advised fund, called a “ Foundation account”, allows you to have all of the financial and philanthropic choices that you would have with a private foundation, but eliminates the time you spend on administration, governance, tax and legal issues.

If you would rather focus your time and efforts on supporting the causes that matter to you, and engaging with the charities of your choice, consider converting to a Canada Gives Foundation account.
